SoftiMystic Installation Guide

Unzip the package you downloaded from Codester. You will find two folders:

• upload – Contains the website files
• documentation – This guide

Upload everything inside the upload folder to your web hosting account.

2. Point Your Domain to the Public Folder

Your domain (e.g., yourdomain.com) must point to the public folder inside the upload directory.

• Using cPanel/DirectAdmin: Set the document root to something like /home/youruser/public_html/public.
• On VPS or custom server: Configure Apache/Nginx to serve from the public folder inside the script directory.

3. Start the Installer

Open your browser and navigate to:

http://yourdomain.com/install

The installer will guide you through the following steps:

• Check server requirements
• Enter database details
• Create an admin account
• Complete the installation

After finishing, you'll be redirected to the admin login page. Use the admin credentials you created to log in.

https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml
